The WOman's Home aud Foreign
Missionary society, OF the 81. Johns
English Lutheran church Of tlls
city, gave last evening very inter
estinR and instructive entertain
ment in the auditorium OF their
church. The room was packed to
it, utmost capacity by an attentive
and appreciative audience. An elab-
crate programme, consisting Of
music, recitatiOns, reading and a
dialogue by the Earnest Workers
Mission Band" was most success
fully carried out. The dialogue en-
titled "The Missionary Clock" was
particularly interesting and divert
ing. the only one engaged In il who
showed any undue excitement be-
ing the clock itself. This seemed
from stage fright presumably, 90
this were not a prohibition state we
would make another guessD TO lose
It's head entirely; II struck two when
one was expected and twenty-five
when IL should have sounded eleven.
II would be a good idea to give that
clock more practice before the next
peri lrmance.

The FInh Avenue Hotel visited By Bsrr.

The FIfh Avenue Hotel Visited By BarE-
ulara.
Last night one Of the bOldest and
strangest visits Of burglars was
made at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
corner Fifth and Mulberry streets.
The room Of = Mr.. Nelson, OF Me-
Pherson. was entered. He had his
pants slowed away under his pillow
for the purpose OF making his val
uables more secure. Without NOV
ing the pants, his wallet, containing
So, was taken aud 3 silver watch
aud chain valued at so. To secure
these his pocket was cut down.
A room was also entered where there
were seven sleePers and the follow
ing articles and money were taken:
from Magnus Olson. s4.OO; Peter
Bike, $50; Charles Rumherg, sill
yer watch aud chain valued at $40;
another boarder 81; Claus Anderson,
an overeOat and light eOat-valued
az about $50 Entering another room
the thieves secured bundle Of dirty
clothing. An unoccupied room was
entered where the thief or thieves
lit lamp and evidently proceeded
tO take an account Of stock Of plumb
er. The empty wallet was lung up
on the floor aud the bundle Of dirty
clothing abandoned. The losses
were not noticed until morning. and
the thieves were thus gwen n chance
to make themselves scarce.
The Office Of the hotel was closed
at o'clock this morning. While.
Charles Runberg was about that
time reclining ON lounge outside, "A
man-apparently about 35Or ~ years
old, Of medium height, and carrying
heavy cane-passed on the side
walk, touching Runberg as he pass
ed, A. IL to ascertain whether or not
he was asleep. He returned soon
after aud rubbed against Runberg
again. aud passed on Ia Filth street,
at which time Mr.. Holmqvist's dog
commenced growing aud finally
barking. which hastened the mans
steps. He then crossed from Filth
street towards santa Fe. This l. the
nnlycircumstanre which points Ia the
identity al the thief. The boarders
had been engaged in conversation
until after u'clOck-at which time
by common consent they agree 10
90 Ia sleep. An hour later a lady
and gentleman who occupied one of
the rnuns heard footsteps upon the
stairs, but supposed IL to be a board
er. Mr.. H0lmquist occupies room
near the office, with door leading
u the office always Open-and in the
room there is usually a light left
burning during the night. Last
night one Of the children was taken
sick and the lamp was removed {"
Mrs. Holmquist's room. Had the
light been burning ~ usual il il
probable the thief or thieves would
not have entered i'm the manner
indicated.
Mr.. Holmquist, a. soon n the
matter was made known, put the
burglary i'm the hands Of the police
force, but a. yet no trace of the
thieves has been found.
